Measuring Area

On Thursday the 23rd of May we did measuring the area for math. Earlier our teacher had drawn a square with chalk outside our class. We went outside and predicted how many students of different sizes could sit comfortably in the square, I predicted 5 students could sit in the square. Afterwards we got some students and put them in the square and the answer turned out to be 4. Then our teacher told us that the square was actually a square meter. Then we went back inside and made predictions of how many square meters the class would be. We got into groups to work out how we could measure it and the most recomended method was measuring it verticaly and then horizontally so we did that. The answer was about 86 square meters.

Science in a Van

Science in a Van

On Friday science in a van came to visit and show us some experiments. The first thing we did was some balance experiments. They got three people up Ms Evans, Riley and Olivia and they did a balance experiment each. Some things were easier to balance then other things. Then we did some learning on the periodic table and the three states of matter. We did a demonstrastion with some students. When they were a solid they were huddled together, when they liquid moving but still attaching and when they were a gas they where dancing all over the room. Then they put some dry ice in a container as to show us what not to do because it flew to the other side of the stage. It was a very enjoyable experience for all of us.

My Holy Spirit Pyrimad

In Religious Education we have been learning about baptisim and the Holy Spirit. We have learnt about the three gifts we get at baptism, Faith, Hope and Love and how they help us not to sin. We made pyramids about this topic, at the bottom triangle it said baptism and the Holy Spirit, on one of the sides it said Faith, another side said hope and the remaining side said love. This is my pyramid:




                                        

My Growth Mindset research

In term one we were choosing inspiring people to Research about. We had some options and about three people did each person.I chose Malala Yousafzai who is a politian for womans rights. She had got shot in the head with a gun. The bullet went round her skull bounced on her eardrum and onto her shoulder. Malala didn't cry once in opperations and Xrays and did not want revenge on the person that shot her.

This is my research picture:
